Here's a test for anyone's memory that was at this show. Within the last 5 songs before the hip came on there were a couple that sounded very Dylan like. not being a Dylan fan I cannot say for sure. These tunes were very cool .I tried to listen to some of Dylans new stuff on itunes but it only gives you a 30 sec. clip. any help would be great.
Thanks,
Todd

I don't think this article has been posted yet - nice to see that Gord reads the submissions to the Hip Story Project.

Tragically Hip have diverse fan base

By YURI WUENSCH -- Edmonton Sun



When Tragically Hip lead singer Gord Downie was in Edmonton last October on a national press tour for the band's 11th full-length album, World Container, we got talking about the band's sometimes maligned and misunderstood fan base.

Local "Hip Heads" will be pouring into Rexall Place tomorrow night to catch the object of their affection - and the Sadies. Tickets for the show ($39.50-$75.50) are available through Ticketmaster online or by calling 451-8000.

Not all Hip Heads, however, are alike, he told me, a fact supported by the diverse ways the band has touched people. Such tales are being shared on the band's website through the Hip Story Project, where fans are invited to submit their tales related to the band.

"I don't read them every day," Downie said, "but I always find them touching, funny or sad - or all of the above. The project shows that - as much as they're button-holed for their interests in a particular band's music - that isn't who they are.

"That's always been the thing that's sort of been raced over by people who take a view of the group, what it means and what it means to people. I've watched them painted with one brush and it never seems to quite cover the whole canvas."

Who knew that disciples of the Canadian Music Hall of Famers were so stigmatized? But is there some kind of rock 'n' roll litmus test akin to racial profiling that would allow one to pick a Hipster out of a crowd?

Guitarist Rob Baker, on the road in Prince George, B.C., gave me the lowdown on what the ugliest and most egregious stereotype of a Tragically Hip fan might boil down to.

"There's a certain depiction of our fans as being a very homogeneous group: thick-necked, rugby-shirt wearing, ball cap-wearing. They're an element of the audience out there," he concedes, adding that they seem that much rowdier when the band plays abroad.

"I think it has to do with nationalism. In some audiences, the most vocal are kind of the yobs. They've been preparing for the gig all day. They've had too many drinks and they're pumping their fists. They've got the (Canadian) flag on their faces. They go crazy.

"It's easy to say, 'Oh, the audience is made up of all these people, Canadians chanting nationalist slogans.' But that's just lazy journalism or something."

Noted. But there's no denying the Hip's seeming status as the quintessential Canadian band. The passion and devotion the Hip Heads faithfully heap on the group almost gleams more brightly than the Hip's astounding collection of 14 Junos.

So, people "love" the Hip, though they probably don't always "get" the Hip. Even Baker, at 44, and playing with Downie for more than 20 years, says there are certain Downie lyrics he's never truly understood and will probably go to his grave never understanding.

Not that he's ever really been inclined to ask for clarification, either.

"Gord writes to please himself. He's very literate, so he loves that kind of density," Baker explains.

"We don't sit around and talk about what he's written. I think he writes them that way so people can put their own stamp on it."

Some of those people even hit the road, following the Hip around for multiple tour stops, the kind of pilgrimages that Dead Heads used to make to honour the Grateful Dead.

"Hip Heads are, generally speaking, cleaner and less stoned," Baker laughs.

"There was one couple from Arizona who followed us around. I think in one year they saw about 55 shows and they've seen more than a hundred over the years."

Didn't they have jobs?

"You wonder. She was teaching skiing in Vail, Colorado. And, as far as I know, he was dealing dope. But he's dead now.

"I don't know the ins and outs, but we got the word about two months ago that he got shot in Phoenix."

Because of dealing drugs?

"No, I think he kind of blew his mind on drugs and joined a religious cult."

Speaking of fanatical obsessions ...

  Save the ol' "New York Theatre"

Hey if you've ever wanted to get into the theatre and live music business - independent-style and in a cool part of Vancouver - Ms. Jhayne Holmes has a pitch for your regarding what used to be called "The New York Theatre" on Commercial drive (and more recently as a Bollywood theatre called "The Raja")

Quote:Vancouver's about to have a new venue... with your help!

The Raja Theatre, most recently a Bollywood movie house, has come up for sale. With a history dating back to 1913, the theatre has been home to local theatre and live acts like Neil Young, Sonic Yourth, and Jane Siberry. Now the opportunity to again make it a hub of local art and performance presents itself. It is my intention to transform the space into Heart of the World, a multi-disciplinary arts facility featuring inspiring work from all over the globe that recaptures and surpasses its previous glory. Read the whole story here.

Through a phenomenal wave of support, we managed to raise the $48,000 deposit in under a week. I personally delivered it to the realtor on Friday, December 8th. This means that we have effectively called dibs in a very loud and legal voice. No one who wants to tear The Raja down can get their hands on it.

Our next step is to shop the business plan to investors and raise a minimum of $500,000 for our down-payment.

Remember, our deadline is January 15th. We raise half a million dollars by then and we'll have a new venue. This is not impossible. Even ten dollars from everyone who visits Foxtongue.com would be a significant amount. We can do this, we just have to work. (And pass this on).

Not as bad a goal as one might think, when that's only 2500 shares. Two thousand shares and some change, that's all we have to sell to get this.
And for those people still asking - yes, you can still buy shares. They're $200CAN each. It isn't too late. I'm sure they make great gifts too. Just email me: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:jhayne.holmes@gmail.com">jhayne.holmes@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->.

I just had a tour of the place and despite 10 years of only rats giving a rat's ass about it, there's a gem of a venue here. Pretty sweet place for a gig. Hell, I even remember seeing Our Lady Peace there back in the early 90s, i.e. back when they mattered Smile But really, it's a helluva spot to see a show.

Ms. Holmes seems to have put together a very grassroots concept - which she calls "Heart of the World" - for opening the project for people to participate in reviving the theatre (rather than having it torn down for more condos). I tried to get some word out earlier this week with with a short-notice show at the Media Club, which was fun and all, but there doesn't appear to be much time left. Some radio interviews are going be coming up on CBC Radio 1 and further info can be found at the project's website www.foxtongue.com.

Have look and help her out if you can!

thanks for your attention

  Hip Vinyl for trade

Can anyone give me more information on Hip Vinyl. I have the following hip albums on vinyl.

EP
Up To Here
Fully Completely
Day For Night
Trouble At The Henhouse
Live Between Us

I know that Road Apples and Phantom Power (maybe ?) exist. I have heard that only 500 copies of Trouble At the Henhouse exist. I had a pretty tough time locating "Live Between Us" and "Fully Completely" as well. I still haven't found Road Apples. Does anyone have any idea how many each of these were pressed.
I am guessing that LBU and FC were in quite limited release as well. Live Between Us is gatefold and the packaging is very nicely made and Fully Completely's packaging (my copy at least from Holland) says "printed with a laser copier" on the jacket and looks like it could have been made by someone who has some half decent photshop skills.

Anyways I have an ever growing vinyl collection and I would be willing to trade my copy of trouble at the henhouse (sealed) to someone who can trade some vinyl for it.

If you are interested please pm me.
